->Ginger Conserve <-

Make a syrup with two pounds of sugar and one pint of water. Boil

till it reaches "thread". Have ready half a pound of green ginger

root, which has been cut small, boiled for an hour in water to

cover it, and drained. Put this in a separate pan, pour over it

syrup to cover it, and simmer for an hour and a half. Remove and drain; let grow cold; dust with powdered sugar. Put it into the

syrup again; let cool again; thoroughly coat with sugar, and pack,

in sugar, in pots or jars.
